Oh, I didn't think my soda would be that loud opening up. I really should be cleaning my kitchen right now, but when I heard that the weather was coming through and the tornado could possibly destroy that part of my house, I'd be ticked if I washed the dishes for nothing.

Today's killer had a very specific victim, a serial killer that only

targeted women. That's pretty common, but his victims were women between the ages of 20 to 25.

He was the first born and has one other brother.
